Merry Christmas Drive with Santa

 Hello Everyone!

I wish everyone a Happy Holiday season and a Merry Christmas!!!

I have a few photos of my Christmas cards to share today. Of course, there is a story.  LOL 

In my exuberance to get my cards out to friends and family, I completely forgot to photograph my cards! My goodness, I don't think I have ever done that before.  Must be old age.  LOL.  

But, thanks to my beautiful, super sweet family, I have photos of the cards.  Sandie, Helen, and Christina took photos of the cards they had received and texted them to me. So, thanks to these lovely ladies I can share the cards with you.

The cards were made using the Spellbinders die cut set, Sunday Drive with Santa.  I die cut the cars in red, white, and green cardstocks. Decorative papers were used for the backgrounds.  The cars were mounted on die cut circles.  

So glad you stopped by today. I hope your holiday season is filled with love and good things.  And some yummy holiday foods too!  See you next time for a Happy New Year card.

Thanksgiving Cards with Truck

 Hello Everyone,

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  

And I would also like to share the cards I made to send out to family and friends for Thanksgiving.  

I used a die cut truck set from Spellbinders called "Truckin Through the Seasons". The pumpkins are also part of the die cut set.

I actually had to go to the store to get fall themed papers!  I have let my decorative paper stash dwindle down to practically nothing.  LOL. The leaf paper I found at Hobby Lobby. 

The sentiments are stamps I have had for years from various companies.  

I die cut the trucks and pumpkins from various colors of cardstock.  And placed them on die cut circles. 

One version of the inside: Also added one pumpkin.

Changed the background paper on the following versions.

This is the second version of the inside of card. 

    So glad you stopped by today!  Hope your Thanksgiving is full of great things like yummy food and plenty to be thankful for!

Spooky Halloween Cars

 Hello everyone! 

Time for Halloween!!  I used this die cut to make my Halloween cards this year.  The dies are from the Sunday Drive series from Spellbinders. This die has lots of pieces and I used a glue bottle with a very narrow cap called Beary Arts Precision Craft Glue. Putting the pieces together without this glue would have been quite difficult and messy.  Just takes a little patience and time. 

The cards have a decorative paper background.  I added some trees made with a Stampin' Up die cut. 

The moon is a punched circle distressed with distress ink. I used a foil paper with an adhesive backing to cut some of the bumpers.  Not sure where I got the foil paper. 

The insides all look like this:

Here are the other versions I made:

I made the card bases and the cars in different colors.

So, as the card says, Be Spooky!!  Hope you Have a Happy Halloween!!

See you next time.

Retirement Card with Car

 Hello everyone!

Check out this cute card I made to celebrate my brother's retirement.  I used a cool die cut car from Spellbinders.  This die has lots of pieces and I used a glue bottle with a very narrow cap called Beary Arts Precision Craft Glue. Putting the pieces together without this glue would have been quite difficult and messy. I also used this die for my Halloween cards.  Those cards will be coming up on my blog this Fall.  

The clouds were punched with a punch from Stampin' Up.  I used a white glitter paper.

Inside of card:

So, I think this is a really cool card.  And it was fun to make. Just takes a little time to glue all the pieces together. I will be back next time with a graduation card with a great big pink bow.  

See you then!!
